Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
-8-(-12)=4
1.8-12=-4
2.-8+12=4
3.-8-12=-20
4.-(8+12)=-4
Answer:
It's the first choice y = (-5/2)x - 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope of the line 5x + 2y = 12 by converting to slope-intercept form.
5x + 2y = 12
2y = -5x + 12
y = (-5/2)x + 6 so the slope is (-5/2).
The line we require had also a slope of -5/2 because it is parallel to the first line and it also passes through the point (-2, 4). So:
y - 4 = (-5/2)(x - -2) (the point-slope form)
y - 4 = (-5/2)(x + 2)
y = (-5/2)x - 5 + 4
y = (-5/2)x - 1 (answer)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer :Anita's age = 7 years
Basilio's age = 2.5 years
Step 1. Assign variables to Anita's and Basilio's ages.
Anita's age = A
Basilio's age = B
Step 2. Use the information given to form two equations.
Anita is 4-1/2 years older than Basilio
A = 4.5 + B
Three times Anita's age added to six times Basilio's age is 36
3A + 6B = 36
Step 3. Substitute the value of A from first equation in to the second equation and solve for B
3(4.5 + B) + 6B = 36
13.5 + 3B + 6B = 36
13.5 + 9B = 36
9B = 36 - 13.5
9B = 22.5
B = 22.5/9 = 2.5
Step 4. Find the value of A
A = 4.5 + 2.5 = 7
Answer:
Anita's age = 7 years
Basilio's age = 2.5 years
